About

You’ll enjoy this if you love ’80s B-movie chaos and want a quick, humorous studio history; Not for you if you want a more rigorous, fully balanced deep dive, or if you dislike the snarky tone of 78/52 and They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead.

Pros: fast, funny momentum; strong insider chatter; lots of familiar clips | Cons: missing key voices; too much snark; feels incomplete
